Laurids made his second appearance in Pepsi Little People's this year, finishing 10th in the 10-11 Division at River View Golf Club, Canton, MO. He played five tournaments in the states this summer, winning once and finishing in the top10 in three others, thus qualifyiing for the Callaway Golf Junior World and US Kids Golf World Championship. Pepsi Little People’s Golf Championships is pleased to announce the winners of the Westview Men’s Club Sportsmanship Award for Boys for 2010. Two young men tied for this honor – Reis Dreyer, 9, from Quincy, IL, and Crimson Callahan, 11, from Chesterfield, MO. Reis was nominated for the Award by the father of one of his fellow competitors in the 10-11 Division at River View Golf Club in Canton, MO. Reis, the son of Ron and Dina Dreyer of Quincy, was playing in his first Pepsi Little People’s tournament. "Although Reis had a lot more experience than my son, he was a great playing partner for Luke," stated Andy Delahaunty of St. Peters, MO. "Reis was older, but consistently talked to Luke during the round, encouraging him and giving him a "high 5" when Luke hit a good one. Luke’s score was high, but he enjoys playing golf so much because he meets kids like Reis". Crimson, a regular contender in Pepsi Little People’s and well-known for his knickers and golfing attire, was nominated by two fellow competitors, Andrew Wood of Zionsville, IN, and A.J. Beechler of Pinehurst, NC, and by a Little People’s Tournament Committee member. "Crimson never got mad after any shot," said Andrew. "He is a great kid. He always hit a good shot, a good putt, and a good chip", added A.J. "Crimson made it a point to always take off his hat and shake hands at the end of each round," stated a PLP committee member. "He always did that even when he was playing as a little guy at KC. At the end of the tournament, even though he played at River View, he made a point of coming back to Westview to personally thank the committee for putting on a great event." Crimson is the son of Todd and Laura Callahan of Chesterfield, MO Both Reis and Crimson will receive a Westview Men’s Club Sportsmanship Award plaque in recognition of their good sportsmanship in the 2010 Pepsi Little People’s Golf Championships.
